“"Juana was a teacher, truly one of the best teachers I ever had. She was the sister-in-law of Rafael, who announced Juana's passing. And they were both exceptional teachers. I remember once, I think it was in 1982. All the national radio stations were saying the world was going to end. Radio Intercontinental reported it because all the planets in the Solar System were aligning. We were all scared children, but Juana was the Natural Sciences teacher, and I've never seen a teacher explain things better, prepare better, or show so much affection. She was the perfect teacher. She explained that this happens every few years, and from that moment on, we felt calmer. When the 30th Anniversary of Juan XXIII was celebrated, several teachers came, and we were thrilled to see her. We remembered her as a very dear teacher."

The educational community of Alcorcón is in mourning this Wednesday following the passing of Juana María Zoydo, a much-loved teacher from the Villa de Alcorcón school, at the age of 78.
Juana María Zoydo Pardo, who taught for numerous generations at the educational center located at calle Madrid, 12, has left a profound memory among students, colleagues, and family. Social media has been flooded with messages of affection and nostalgia recalling her career and her personal qualities.
Her death follows closely that of Antonio Chaparro Siñuelas, former director and one of the founders of the Villa de Alcorcón school. Zoydo Pardo will be remembered with a final farewell at the San Isidro funeral home.
The news was confirmed by Rafael Sanz Secundino, another highly regarded teacher from the Alcorcón institution, formerly known as Juan XXIII.
